What Can We Expect From This Manga Adaptation?
This anime adaptation of Mieruko Chan is produced by Passione. It will follow the three main characters- Miko, Hana, and Yulia- as they go about their everyday lives. But as we all know, their lives are going to change forever really soon. The ability to see these ghosts worries Miko because none of the other students seem to be able to see them. So, she tries to ignore them no matter how terrifying they are. On the other hand, the ghosts are worried about why she’s ignoring them and they think she will always ignore them and never get scared of them.
How close this adaptation will be to the books remains to be seen, but if it is as close as we want and expect it to be, it’s going to be one hell of a ride! Mieruko Chan is not for the faint-hearted therefore viewer discretion is advised.
